Jamaican Rice and Beans

I BBQ'd some jerk chicken legs on Monday so I  wanted rice and beans to go with it. I don't know how Janaican this is or whatever but it's my interpretation based on variations that I've seen.

Ingredients
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
olive oil
2 cups rice (I used a Texmati mix)
3 cups chicken stock
1 cubanelle pepper, diced
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp cinamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
salt & pepper

Directions

1. Sauté the onions and garlic.
   
2. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
   
3. Add the rice, cover and cook on low for 15 minutes. (It probably could have used 20 minutes)
4. Add everything else, mix carefully and heat through.

It was really good but it probably could have used some fresh thyme and green onions thrown in right before serving.
